Share:

I love to knit. I love to crochet even more. It’s really satisfying to be able to wear something that you made yourself. So why not fly your geek colors by wearing something handmade? Here are 25 wearable, geek-savvy items that you can make yourself:

KATNISS VEST – THE HUNGER GAMES

Knitters and crocheters everywhere lost their minds when they saw Katniss come on screen in Catching Fire wearing this.

Whether you’re cosplaying, or just keeping your hands warm, these Link gauntlets will keep you ready to take on Ganondorf. Of course Link’s look wouldn’t be complete without his signature hat to match.

Rinoa’s duster and arm warmers make for a great DIY cosplay. With some yarn, knitting needles, fabric paint, and buttons, you can transform yourself into this Final Fantasy sorceress. Dog not included.

Here’s one for the more advanced knitter. The pattern in this scarf is Sherlock’s wallpaper, yellow smiley vandalism and all. Once you nail down the color pattern, you could probably make this scarf as long or short as your heart desires. If you had a heart. Which you don’t because you’re Sherlock Holmes.

Let’s be real. We all want our own scale maille armor, but the real thing can be so expensive! Here’s a pattern to make your own with yarn and scales. And if you need matching gauntlets, we’ve got you covered.
